Clinicians leverage several types of specialized technology, including the Armeo Spring, Lokomat, Bioness, Eksoskeleton and many others.

In 1958, the Benedictine Sisters of Yankton, South Dakota founded Madonna in Lincoln, Nebraska. They choose the name “Madonna” in honor of the Blessed Mother and provide services according to the Benedictine values the hospital continues to follow today. Known as the Madonna Home, the facility begins to earn its reputation for excellence. The facility began as a geriatric facility and later as a physical medicine and rehabilitation center. In 1966, Madonna received the nation's first Medicare certification and began to offer rehabilitation services.
The hospital was first accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities in 1982 and has received three-year accreditation continuously since then. The most recent was given with "no recommendations" for improvement in all six certified programs, which is virtually unheard of in the industry.[1]
